Yes from MR to Ranils are all the same.

95% or more people of sri lanka are going after fensui and forturne teller guys. So what more you can expect from them.. I think sri lanka in lowest in IQ in the world..You can clearly see it how buddhist behave... palathuru pooja and mal pooja ...

If one vote for a bottle of arrack or packet of lunch, that is sensible. he vote for his personal benefits

What I dont understand is Sri lanka is full of voters who are ready to sacrifice their life, ready to sacrifice their time and money, ready to fight with friends, for the sake of sending a corrupt idiot to parliament to ruin the country.

Yes its $150 dollars ( about Rs 25000).

In Sri Lanka , Indian made Maruti is how much for normal person? But for Politicians with Permits how much is it?

Shame of Sri Lanka.And we elect same corrupt governments + people to rule us.

Yes from Pohottuwa MR to Aliya Ranils governments are all the same.They become richer. Normal people become poorer.

But we keep worshiping the wrong doers/ doings.

Then to whom we should vote...?

Good question. First we need to locate whether the issue is.

By Default ( so far in SL) , people usually elect Leaders only from 2 main parties.Some are Kapuwath Kola or Nil. Even if a suitable Candidate come forward from a another Party , will Majority vote such a person ?

Due to same fact, many like to join or get nominations from the 2 main parties ( to getPerks and Posts). So all we see is the same corrupt politicos jump from one party to the other for perks. Also though they take stabs at each other to hoodwink public, in reality , Leaders from Main parties dine and wine together and watch their backs. They know being in power is merry go round game between 2 parties.

If a Culture was there to select people based on merit in the best interest of the Country , am sure there are capable people in shadows who may come come forwards through an Independent group.

In other countries, Party leader or party policies can be critized by party members.In SL , if such happens what is the fate of the member?

Even if someone with education, qualifications , plans and good qualities come forward though an Independent group , the question remains will people vote for such ? Or will they elect famous names only ?

Do we need a very straight decision making leader (Talking most in these days) ?

Do we need a very straight decision making leader (Talking most in these days) ?

Am not sure I understanding the question. What do you think anyway?

There is a general Sentiment these days we need some visionary Autocratic leader (Like Lee Quan Yu, Mahatheer Mohomed ) to build our country ?

A Visionary is ofcourse important to get us out of this mess. I don't know about Autocratic, but a firm Leader is needed to say No to 3 Wheel drivers who don't want meters or Unions/People who want stuff for their benefit ( but not in the best interest of the country)

All recent past + present leaders , will bend rule to stay in power ( to get votes) So I don't see such qualities in any famous present Leader.
